Geoscience Credentials Assessment Panel

Purpose

The Geoscience Credentials Assessment Panel is a sub-committee of the Geoscience and Registration Committees.

Its mandate is to assess the qualifications of potential applicants for the professional geoscientist (P.Geo.) designation. Each application is reviewed and assessed by two geoscientists who practice the same discipline. As an assessor you will be looking at the applications and verifying that they have met the experience/competency and education criteria for their area of expertise, then commenting on whether the applicant can be recommended for professional registration.
